Reaction Steps

Phosphorus pentachloride (764 mg) was dissolved in anhydrous toluene (9 ml), the resulting solution was mixed with 2-mercapto-6-nitrobenzoxazole (600 mg) which has been obtained in the same manner as described in Reference Example 1, and the mixture was then stirred with heating at 100° C. for 3 hours. With cooling in an ice bath, to this was added dropwise N-methylpiperazine (3.4 ml). After 20 minutes of stirring, the thus obtained mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and saturated brine in that order. After drying with magnesium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated under a reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride:methanol =20:1) to obtain 2-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-6-nitrobenzoxazole (668.9 mg) in the form of yellow crystalline powder.
